wAbstract
@The freshwater marshes in northern China are heavily impacted
by anthropogenic disturbances such as cultivation and fertilization
and increased levels of nutrients (especially N and P) through
atmospheric deposition and agricultural surface runoff. These
disturbances have affected the emission of N2O
from these systems. This laboratory study was concluded to determine
the effects of increased inputs of inorganic N and P on N2O emission from marsh soil in response to different
soil moisture conditions. The results showed that the emission
of N2O increased with the enhancement of
N inputs when the soil was submerged, but that the highest N treatment
suppressed the emission of N2O when the soil
was at 60 water holding capacity (WHC), which may have occurred
due to an inadequate amount of available C. Furthermore, the results
of this study indicated that a small amount of N fertilizer induced
much more N2O evolution from freshwater wetland
soil, while P fertilizer inputs appeared to stimulate the emission
of N2O only during the first few days of
the experiment. Additionally, soil that was treated with P appeared
to absorb N2O when it was at 60 WHC after
around 6 weeks of the incubation, which indicates that the input
of P fertilizer might serve as a shift of source or N2O
sink in wetland soils under non-flooded conditions. When compared
to soil at 60 WHC, submerged soil had significantly higher N2O emissions, except when subjected to the medial
N treatment. These findings indicate that the soil moisture condition
had a significant effect on N2O emissions
when the same amount of N or P was applied.Therefore, the effects
of N and P fertilization in the northern temperate wetlands cannot
be neglected from regional or national emissions of N2O.
